Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fahrzeugluftreifen in Radialbauart für Lastkraftwagen mit einem vierlagigen Gürtel, wobei jede Gürtellage als Festigkeitsträger Stahlkorde enthält, die in jeder Gürtellage parallel zueinander verlaufen, wobei, beginnend bei der ersten radial innersten Gürtellage, der Winkel, den die Stahlkorde in der ersten Gürtellage mit der Umfangsrichtung einschließen, zwischen 50° und 65° beträgt und die Winkel, die die Stahlkorde in den weiteren Gürtellagen mit der Umfangsrichtung einschließen, jeweils zwischen 10° und 30° betragen, und wobei zwischen die Randabschnitte der zweiten Gürtellage und der dritten Gürtellage ein Gürtelpolster hinein ragt, welcher sich schulterseitig über den Rand der zweiten Gürtellage hinaus erstreckt. The invention relates to a radial tire type pneumatic vehicle tire for lorries with a four-ply belt, each belt ply containing steel cords extending in parallel in each belt ply, starting at the first radially innermost belt ply, the angle that the steel cords in the first belt ply with the circumferential direction is between 50 ° and 65 °, and the angles enclosing the steel cords in the other belt plies with the circumferential direction are respectively between 10 ° and 30 °, and between the edge portions of the second belt ply and the third belt ply Belt pad protrudes into which extends shoulder-side beyond the edge of the second belt layer addition.

Bei LKW-Reifen mit einem niedrigen Querschnitt, insbesondere mit einer Breite größer als 350 mm und einem Verhältnis Querschnittshöhe zu Querschnittsbreite ≤ 0,5, wird, insbesondere wenn die Reifen auf angetriebenen Achsen eingesetzt werden, oft ein ungleichmäßiger Laufstreifenabrieb festgestellt, sodass die mögliche Lebensdauer des Reifens im Betrieb nicht erreicht wird. Um den Laufstreifenabrieb zu vergleichsmäßigen, ist es bekannt, eine der vorhandenen Stahlkordlagen oder eine zusätzliche Stahlkordlage im Gürtel mit in Umfangsrichtung orientierten Stahlkorden zu versehen. Dabei hat sich heraus gestellt, dass sich durch diese Maßnahme vor Allem der Schulterabrieb von Antriebsachsreifen nicht oder nur unwesentlich verbessern lässt.For truck tires with a low cross-section, in particular with a width greater than 350 mm and a ratio of cross-sectional height to cross-sectional width ≤ 0.5, especially when the tires are used on driven axles, an uneven tread wear is often found, so that the possible life of the tire is not reached during operation. To make the tread wear comparable, it is known to provide one of the existing steel cord plies or an additional steel cord ply in the belt with circumferentially oriented steel cords. It has been found that can be improved by this measure, especially the shoulder abrasion of drive axle tires not or only insignificantly.

Aus der FR 1 437 569 A ist ein Fahrzeugluftreifen in Radialbauart für Lastkraftwagen bekannt, welcher schulterseitig jeweils zwei Gürtelkantenstreifen aus gummierten und in jedem Streifen parallel verlaufenden Stahlkorden aufweist. Seitlich des Gürtelverbandes verlaufen die Gürtelkantenstreifen in Kontakt miteinander, der eine Gürtelkantenstreifen überdeckt den Randabschnitt der radial äußersten Gürtellage, der zweite Gürtelkantenstreifen verläuft ein Stück radial innerhalb der ersten, radial innersten Gürtellage. Aus der US 5 111 864 A ist ein LKW-Reifen mit einem beispielsweise vierlagigen Gürtel bekannt, wobei die einzelnen Gürtellagen randseitig mit schmalen Schutzstreifen mit Festigkeitsträgern aus Nylon bedeckt sind. Diese Schutzstreifen sollen die Gürtelhaltbarkeit verbessern, insbesondere soll das Ablösen der Gürtelkanten vermieden werden.From the FR 1 437 569 A is a pneumatic vehicle tire for trucks known which shoulder side two belt edge strips rubberized and running in each strip parallel steel cords. Laterally of the belt bandage, the belt edge strips are in contact with each other, one belt edge strip covers the edge portion of the radially outermost belt ply, and the second belt edge strip extends radially inward of the first, radially innermost belt ply. From the US 5 111 864 A is a truck tire with a four-ply belt, for example, known, the individual belt layers are covered at the edge with narrow protective strips with strength of nylon. These protective strips to improve the belt durability, in particular, the detachment of the belt edges should be avoided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem LKW-Reifen, insbesondere einem Reifen mit einem Verhältnis Querschnittshöhe zu Querschnittsbreite ≤ 0,5 eine Vergleichmäßigung des Laufstreilenabriebs über den Querschnitt des Reifens zu erzielen, vor Allem bei einem Einsatz der Reifen auf Antriebsachsen,The invention is based on the object in a truck tire, in particular a tire with a ratio of cross-sectional height to cross-sectional width ≤ 0.5 equalization of Laufstreilenabriebs on the cross section of the tire to achieve, especially when using the tires on drive axles,

Gelöst wird die gestellte Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, dass schulterseitig jeweils zumindest zwei aufeinander liegende Gürtelkantenstreifen aus gummiertem und in jedem Streifen parallel verlaufenden Stahlkorden angeordnet sind, wobei der radial innere Streifen in Kontakt mit dem Randabschnitt der dritten Gürtellage steht, welche Streifen, in axialer Richtung betrachtet, die Kanten der ersten drei Gürtellagen überdecken und zur Gürtelmitte zu bis knapp zu den Seitenkanten der radial äußersten Gürtellage reichen, wobei die Stahlkorde in dem einen Streifen zu den Stahlkorden in dem anderen Streifen gekreuzt verlaufen und die Stahlkorde mit der Umfangsrichtung jeweils einen spitzen Winkel einschließen.This object is achieved according to the invention in that at least two superimposed belt edge strips of rubberized and parallel in each strip steel cords are arranged on the shoulder side, wherein the radially inner strip is in contact with the edge portion of the third belt layer, which strip, viewed in the axial direction , the edges of the first three belt plies overlap and extend to the belt center to almost the side edges of the radially outermost belt ply, wherein the steel cords in the one strip to the steel cords in the other stripe crossed and the steel cords enclose with the circumferential direction in each case an acute angle ,

Eine erfindungsgemäße Überdeckung der Gürtelkanten der ersten drei Gürtellagen versteift den Gürtelverband schulterseitig und führt zur erwünschten Vergleichmäßigung des Abriebsbildes insbesondere von LKW-Niederquerschnittsreifen auf Antriebsachsen.An overlap according to the invention of the belt edges of the first three belt plies stiffens the belt bandage on the shoulder side and leads to the desired equalization of the abrasion pattern, in particular of truck low-section tires on drive axles.

Auf die erzielbare Versteifung des Gürtelverbandes in den Schulterbereichen wirkt es sich vorteilhaft aus, wenn der Winkel, den die beiden Kantenstreifen mit der Umfangsrichtung einschließen, zwischen 10° und 30° beträgt.On the achievable stiffening of the belt bandage in the shoulder areas, it has an advantageous effect if the angle which the two edge strips include with the circumferential direction is between 10 ° and 30 °.

Auch die Orientierung der Stahlkorde in den beiden Streifen relativ zur Umfangsrichtung kann, je nach Ausführung der Streifen und je nach Ausführung des Gürtelpakets des Reifens Einfluss auf die Versteifung des Gürtelverbandes nehmen. Je nach Ausführung des Gürtels kann es dabei von Vorteil sein, wenn die Orientierung der Stahlkorde in den Streifen, beginnend beim radial inneren Streifen, der Abfolge links-rechts oder der Abfolge rechts-links folgt.Also, the orientation of the steel cords in the two strips relative to the circumferential direction, depending on the design of the strips and depending on the design of the belt package of the tire influence the stiffening of the belt association. Depending on the design of the belt, it may be advantageous if the orientation of the steel cords in the strip, starting at the radially inner strip, the sequence left-right or the sequence right-left follows.

Je nach Einsatzzweck und Ausführung der Reifen kann es günstig sein, dass die Orientierung der Stahlkorde in den Streifen in der einen Schulter mit jener der Streifen in anderen Schulter übereinstimmt oder dass die Orientierung gegengleich erfolgt.Depending on the purpose and design of the tires, it may be favorable that the orientation of the steel cords in the strips in one shoulder coincides with that of the strips in the other shoulder, or that the orientation is the same.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung stimmt die Breite der beiden Streifen überein. Diese Maßnahme ist für eine definierte Versteifung des Gürtelverbandes in denIn the preferred embodiment of the invention, the width of the two strips is the same. This measure is for a defined stiffening of the belt association in the

Schulterbereichen von Vorteil. Die Breite der Streifen wird dabei von 5 % bis 20 % der Breite der breitesten Gürtellage gewählt.Shoulder areas of advantage. The width of the strips is chosen from 5% to 20% of the width of the widest belt layer.

Die zweite Gürtellage 3b ist die breiteste Gürtellage von allen Gürtellagen und überdeckt komplett die erste Gürtellage 3a. Die erste und dritte Gürtellage, 3a und 3c, liegen in der Breite zwischen der ersten und vierten Gürtellage, 3b und 3d. Sämtliche Gürtellagen 3a, 3b, 3c und 3d bestehen aus in eine Gummimischung, der Gürtelgummierung, eingebetteten Festigkeitsträgern, insbesondere Stahlkord, beispielsweise Stahlkord der Konstruktion 3 x 0,2 mm + 6 x 0,35 mm, wobei auch Stahlkorde anderer Konstruktionen eingesetzt werden können. In jeder Gürtellage 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d verlaufen die Stahlkorde zueinander parallel. Schulterseitig ist jeweils zwischen der Karkasse 1 und den Randabschnitten der ersten und zweiten Gürtellage 3a, 3b ein Schulterpolster 5 angeordnet, zwischen die Randabschnitte der zweiten Gürtellage 3b und der dritten Gürtellage 3c ragt ein Gürtelpolster 6 hinein, welcher sich schulterseitig über den Rand der zweiten Gürtellage 3b hinaus erstreckt.The belt 3 has four belt plies 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d. The fourth, radially outermost belt layer 3d has the smallest width of all layers. The second belt ply 3b is the widest belt ply of all the belt plies and completely covers the first belt ply 3a. The first and third belt ply 3a and 3c are in the width between the first and fourth belt ply 3b and 3d. All belt layers 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d consist of a rubber compound, the belt rubber, embedded reinforcements, in particular steel cord, for example steel cord of the construction 3 x 0.2 mm + 6 x 0.35 mm, although steel cords of other constructions can be used , In each belt layer 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, the steel cords run parallel to each other. On the shoulder side between the carcass 1 and the edge portions of the first and second belt layer 3a, 3b, a shoulder pad 5 is disposed between the edge portions of the second belt layer 3b and the third belt layer 3c protrudes into a belt pad 6, which shoulder on the edge of the second belt layer 3b also extends.

Der dargestellte Gürtel ist ein sogenannter Dreiecksgürtel, bei dem die Stahlkorde in der ersten, radial innersten Gürtellage 3a einen Winkel zwischen 50° bis 65° mit der Umfangsrichtung einschließen. Die Stahlkorde in den weiteren Gürtellagen 3b, 3c und 3d schließen mit der Umfangsrichtung jeweils einen Winkel zwischen 10° und 30° ein. Typische Größen für die Winkel der Stahlkorde sind 50° in der ersten Gürtellage 3a und jeweils 18° in den anderen Gürtellagen 3b, 3c und 3d.The illustrated belt is a so-called triangular belt in which the steel cords in the first, radially innermost belt ply 3a enclose an angle between 50 ° to 65 ° with the circumferential direction. The steel cords in the other belt layers 3b, 3c and 3d enclose an angle between 10 ° and 30 ° with the circumferential direction. Typical sizes for the angles of the steel cords are 50 ° in the first belt layer 3a and 18 ° in the other belt layers 3b, 3c and 3d, respectively.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Reifen sind schulterseitig und aufeinander liegend jeweils zwei Gürtelkantenstreifen 7a, 7b vorgesehen, wobei der radial innere Streifen 7a in Kontakt mit dem Randabschnitt der dritten Gürtellage 3c steht. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Kantenstreifen 7a, 7b gleich breit ausgeführt. Die Kantenstreifen 7a, 7b reichen schulterseitig soweit, dass zumindest die Außenkante der breitesten Gürtellage 3b, in axialer Richtung betrachtet, überdeckt wird. Zur Gürtelmitte zu enden die Kantenstreifen 7a, 7b in einem Abstand vor der obersten Gürtellage 3d.In a tire designed according to the invention, two belt edge strips 7a, 7b are provided on the shoulder side and on top of each other, the radially inner strip 7a being in contact with the edge section of the third belt layer 3c. In the illustrated embodiment, the edge strips 7a, 7b are made the same width. The edge strips 7a, 7b extend on the shoulder side so far that at least the outer edge of the widest belt layer 3b, viewed in the axial direction, is covered. To the middle of the belt to end the edge strips 7a, 7b at a distance in front of the uppermost belt layer 3d.

Die Kantenstreifen 7a, 7b bestehen aus gummierten Stahlkorden, wobei die Stahlkorde in jeder der Kantenstreifen 7a, 7b parallel zueinander verlaufen und wobei die Stahlkorde im Streifen 7a zu den Stahlkorden im Streifen 7b gekreuzt angeordnet sind. Der Winkel, den die Stahlkorde in den Streifen 7a, 7b mit der Umfangsrichtung einschließen, wird zwischen 10° und 30° gewählt. Dabei kann, bezogen auf die Umfangsrichtung des Reifens, die Orientierung der Stahlkorde in den Streifen 7a, 7b derart erfolgen, dass, ausgehend vom Streifen 7a eine Abfolge der Orientierung gemäß rechts-links oder gemäß links-rechts vorliegt. Diese Orientierung kann für die in der rechten und die in der linken Reifenschulter angeordneten Streifenpaare übereinstimmen oder gegengleich sein. Die Breite der breiten Streifen 7a, 7b beträgt zwischen 5 % und 20 % der Breite der breitesten Gürtellage 3b. Die beiden Streifen 7a, 7b können abweichend von der dargestellten Ausführung auch unterschiedlich breit ausgeführt sein.The edge strips 7a, 7b are made of rubberized steel cords with the steel cords running parallel to each other in each of the edge strips 7a, 7b and the steel cords in the strip 7a being crossed to the steel cords in the strip 7b. The angle which the steel cords enclose in the strips 7a, 7b with the circumferential direction is chosen between 10 ° and 30 °. In this case, based on the circumferential direction of the tire, the orientation of the steel cords in the strips 7a, 7b take place such that, starting from the strip 7a, there is a sequence of orientation according to right-left or left-right. This orientation may coincide or be the same for the pairs of stripes arranged in the right and in the left tire shoulder. The width of the wide strips 7a, 7b is between 5% and 20% of the width of the widest belt layer 3b. Deviating from the illustrated embodiment, the two strips 7a, 7b can also be designed with different widths.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Erfindung bei auf Antriebsachsen eingesetzten LKW-Reifen mit einem niedrigen Querschnitt, insbesondere bei Reifen mit einer Breite größer als 350 mm und einem Verhältnis der Querschnittshöhe zur Querschnittsbreite ≤ 0,5. Gerade auf Antriebsachsen wirken auf die Reifen im Betrieb Antriebs- und Bremsmomente, die oft Ursache für einen ungleichmäßigen Abrieb sind. Die Gürtelkanten 7a, 7b versteifen den Gürtelverband in Umfangsrichtung, wodurch sich das Abriebsbild der Reifen deutlich verbessert.The invention is particularly advantageous in truck tires used on drive axles with a low cross-section, in particular for tires with a width greater than 350 mm and a ratio of the cross-sectional height to the cross-sectional width ≦ 0.5.
